I’m guilty of this today as I write this and I’ll admit it – my mind is on the Clemson game next week.  Everything I watched today I kept thinking about the Clemson game.

What does it mean against Clemson?  How does that translate to success or failure against Clemson?

Is it a healthy way to observe a game and just enjoy things?  Not whatsoever, but I don’t think I’m alone in thinking and observing Saturday’s game that way.

That all said, try having a fumble returned nearly the length of the field for a touchdown, starting the game with a holding penalty to make it first-and-20 on the opening drive and then just flat out miss an easy touchdown pass against Clemson and let me know if you walk out victorious.
